Hi! I'm new to these forums and to poly in general and just wanted to say hi. As someone who is open and honest and embraces the uniqueness in myself and others I was thrilled to learn about poly. I've always felt limited by monogamous relationships and have been looking to make new connections with others. It's not about the sex for me- it's about forming new bonds and relationships with other like minded people. As a newbie I'm feeling a little shy about taking the next steps with people but it feels good to take the first step. I'm so glad this community exists.

I'm married, a mom with a toddler and feeling limited by my monogamous relationship. I'm here to take a step to explore a new dimension to my life and relationships. It's already feeling like the right fit. I'm so glad this forum exists! I can't wait to meet new people. Thank you!

Reason: Adding more info about me

I hope you can find lots of information and support here. Personally, I find the approach of letting relationships develop as they will and being honest (with yourself and others) about who you are to be appealing.

The freedom to explore our needs as individuals is primary in any relationship. At least you are now connecting with those inner needs. This seems to be a safe, informative place to ask questions and make new friends--I am new here myself. Good luck!

That's exactly how I feel! I'm new too, you can go read my intro post if you want. I have a toddler too btw

Wow. Thank you for all of the responses. I'm a bit overwhelmed- in a good way! All of the welcomes and resources are greatly appreciated. Thank you! I just started the conversation with my husband about my need for more. More connections, more people to love, in my life. It was hard but I already feel like a weight has been lifted. What a great community here. Thank you!
